EVENING STAR. THE WASHINGTON, ‘THURSDAY. .............Mareh 26, 1899. CROSBY $. NOYES. .Editor. ———— THE EVENING STAR has | a regular and pesmanent Family Circalatlon much more than the combined clr- ealation of the ether Washbingion dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has nc competitor. a tlm order te avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to HH STAR should not be addressed te any individun] connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorint or Business Dopart- ments, according to tenor of purpose. ———= The Auaceostin Company's Position. ‘Alleged povarty is no excuse for failure to modernize the equipment of the Wash- ington and Anacostia Street Raflway Com- pary. In consideration of the grant of the use of the streets a transportation corporation impliedly contracts to make the expenditures necessary to. furnish the public with transportation facilities, edapt- ed to the times and meeting public re- quirements, and no such corporation can hold the franchise, and, on the plea of pov- erty, evade furnishing this consideration. The populous suburb of Anacostia and the section of Washington adjacent to that suburb are as much entitled to rapid trarsit and decent facilities of transporta- tion to the center of the city as the Eck- ington, Brightwood or Terallytown region. If a man engaged in any business finds his capital and public patronage insuffi- cient he abardons it and attaches Limself to an occupation for which he Is equipped and for which he and his means are ade- quate. In this case the company ad- varces its alleged poverty as the best of reasons for continued existence under con- diticns more fevorable than any accorded these other corporations which are locally engaged in the same industry. if the Anacostia Company’s theory Is sound, then the community must be ex- tremely careful as to indorsements of street-railway plans—many of which are be- fore Congress—for if the holders of one franchise are to be especially favored be- cause of alleged poverty it may become customary to urge similar and profitable finarcia) disability in behalf of other roads. Bobtail cars might then be common enough and there would probably be renewal of the oft-defeated effort to cumber city streets with the poles and wires of overhead-trolley construction. All this would be the logical sequence of a legislative admission that poverty or stingiress or mismanagement have rights superior to those granted wide- awake and well-equipped liberality. Wash- ington is weary of the Anacostia cars which row periodically disfigure some of this city’s most prominent thoroughfares, but it will never consent to any movemert which plans to substitute therefor the pernicious over- head-trolley construction. The Eckington Company's trolley cars Fan threugh a not overcrowded region, but the poles and wires had to come down be- cause the law and public sentiment were opposed to such obstructions, in behalf of which nothing more substantial than cheapness could ve urgede The same law and the same sentiment stili exist; some- thing to be borne in mind by the Anacosula Company should it ever be tempted to Imagine that its plea of poverty mignt possibly gain fer it overhead-trolley privi- leges that have very properly been denied others who did their best to secure them. The Anacostia Company is most unpopular now—its equipment is an eyesore to every latterday man and woman—but the un- popularity of the present is as nothing to the unpopularity which would be instantly consequent upon any expressed desire on the part of the company to disfigure, as an exception to the law, any one of the city’s streets with overhead-trolley con- struction. ee The Theater Hat in Ohio. One branch of the Ohio legislature has passed a bill which makes it a misdemeanor for any woman to wear a hat in any place of public amusement. There was a time when the majority of Washingtonians would have favored loca! application of such a statute, but that day has gone by. ‘The Star cailed the atttention of Washing- ton womanhood to the seifishness and im- propriety of high hats in theater audiences and there was immedigte and gratifying response; charmingly-sn.all bonnets or no bonnets at all are the fashion. Occasion- ally a stranger from one of the rural dis- tricts wanders in with a big flower-bed on her head, but such instances are rare. Olio may need such a law as that set forth im the Fosdick bi!l, but moral suasion does admirabiy here, where the women are af- fluent as to common serse. ——_ ee Honest, Brave, Efficient. Washington is much indebted to the late Brigadier-General Thomas “Lincoln Casey, whose unexpected and startlingly-sudden death occurred yesterday afternoon. A dis- tinguished engineer, it was his lot to be associated mere closely with affairs at the national capite] than was any other offi- cer of the corps in which he served with such efficient fidelity for so many years. Much of his energy was expeaded on works that are conspicuous features In the na- tional capital, and these will testify to his ility as words could not possibly do. Gen. Casey had many warm personal friepds who wiil miss hin much. He was an uncompromisingly-honest man; the world is poorer by his departure. —_-- 2 = _-___ In Spain the government {s, as a matter of self-protection, obliged to declare its disapproval of the course pursued by the newspapers.

That the House committee on naval at- fairs knew what it was doing when It voted out of the naval appropriation bill all references to dry-docks ts a probability; an Important subdivision of Congress is not likely to take such action thoughtlessly. But the country cannot be expected to ac- cept without question the conclusions of the committee on a matter of so much im- portance. A great navy ts much to be de- sired, for it gives to the nation which pos- sesses it great prestige and many commer- cial advantages. As yet our navy Is young, but even now we have a salt water force which could make a good showing in time of need. To our present equipment of war- ships it has practically been decided to add four powerful battleships and a number of torpedo boats, so that we may reason- ably expect within two or three years to be on a naval par with the second-rate pow- ers of Europe. But ships without docks are likely to become what may, both ap- Propriately and inappropriately, be termed “white elephants.” Speed is a material fea- ture In latter-day man-of-war construction, Dut speed cannot be expected of a battle- ship or any other kind of a ship after the hull has become outwardly foul It is es- sential to the ships’ existence.that they be Periodically placed in dry-dock that the marine growths may be removed and the paint or other. preservative renewed. In time of war—and who knows but that time may come without an hour’s warning—a dockless navy would soon be at the mercy of such an enemy cs Great Britain, which has docks in the West Indies and at Hall- fax. To be sure we have a dock at Port Royal, but it is practically worthless; the battleship Indiana—lightened ag much as possible—is now imprisoned between a bar and the deck, waiting for a conjunction of wind and tide that may enable the big ship elther to get into the dock or out of the harbor. Then we-have another dock at Erooklyn, but it !s too small for battle- ships; which is the case as to every other dock In the United States. It is not easy, therefore, to understand the committee's action as to the jocks which it was Pro- posed to build at Portsmouth, N. H.; Mare Island, Cal, and Alters, La. We know that tho government is short of funds, but the shortage is one that need not be; it 1s not an incurable condition. We have ™money enougn with which to construct battleships, why should we condemn the battleships to comparative uselessness by falling to build sufficient and suitably-lc- cated dry-docks? ——_——__ e+____ Mr. Bayard Will Not See. ‘With all his experience in public life Ambaszadcr Bayard does not yet seem to realiza that there was impropriety in the speeches wiich caused the House to adopt resolutions of censure. At a banquet in Lon- den Tuesday night Mr. Bayard made pointed reference to the action of the House when he sald: “When the time shall come when & man shall rot dare to speak the thoughts that swell within him for the public good, God help the country.” The trouble with Mr. Bayard’s condemned remarks was that they were not in the public interest. Mr. Bayard ignored the fact thet he was the representative of the American nation, und talked as a partisarf who was ambassador only for a faction of what was once the democratic party; therefore the censure. ——e oe It is the new Congressman who indulges in hallucinations about Washington being exempt from Its proper share of taxation. ‘Those who have been here for some time and acquired taxable property know bet- ter. ———_~+ e+____ Some of the statesmen of the present time would make a great deal of business for Mr. Sherman if he should decide to go ahead with his recollections on the con- tinuous performance plan. —____-+«—_____ If the bicycle is as effective in equipping the country with good roads as it promises to be, every fair-minded man will be will- ing to forgive it for the appearance of bloomers. —____+ += ____ It is hoped that the trouble over the Mar- quette affair will not interfere with the ap- propriation of a sum of money sufficient to construct a breakwater at Marquette Bay, Michigan. —__+ ++ _____ If the Spanish soldiers succeed in subdu- ing Cuba they would be pleased to have a retraction of those assertions that the insurgents were merely scattered bands of outlaws.

SHOOTING STARS. Mortally Offended. “Yes,” said the author of the suddenly popular novel; “it seems foolish, I know, and it will subject me to a great deal of ridicule. But there is no other course open to me. I will have to challenge him.” “Has he insulted you?” “Mortally. He questioned my gence.” “How!” “By publicly expressing the cpinion that I really believe the things I put in my Lcoks.” A Tribute to Suceess. “IT aim,” said Mrs. Hashem, “to give my boarders good, substantial food.” ‘Madam,” replied Billy Bliven, “you suc- ceed.

Colonel Carter's countenance was roseate in its affability as he met an acquaintance who is considerably his junior. “Young man,” he said, “we ahe now upon the verge of the season which makes life worth living. The season which stands out in tts radiance, suh, and makes the re- mainder of the yeah seem like a dull back- ground of patient endurance for a picture of unalloyed loveliness, suh.” As he delivered this sentiment, the colonel raised himself on tip-toe and clasped his hands behind his back. “You seem inspired to poetry this morn- 4ing.”” “I am, suh. I observe that mint is in the mahket once more.” “So it is! We must have some spring Jamb.” The colonel glanced at him suspiciously. But seizing him by the arm he exclaimed heartily: “Thank you, I don’t care if I do. Of cohse I'll take a spring lamb with you. But I must pause to remahk that it is get- ting to be positive mental drudgery to keep track of the odd names the present gener- ation {s getting for its mixed drinks.” A Biped Characteristic. “What are these birds chattering so about?” she asked as she opened the win- dow. “I suppose,” responded her husband, who is organist in a church, “that the feathered choir is having the usual misunderstand- ing.” iatelli- A Fellow Feeling.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser. Several New York authors were discuss- Ing the ideal place for a literary center not long ago, and one of them expressed the opinion that it was neither Boston nor New York. “There are several reasons that make Washington the place,” he said. “The chief of these is that Washington is a beautiful city, the only really beautiful eity that we have, and the center of litera- ture Se tht to possess artistic surroundings. Then, the ees of the whole country are, in a sense, gathered together in Wash- ington. ‘The society there is made up of people from all over the United States and from all over the world. It isn’t by any means an ideal society, but its very con- giomerateness makes ft picturesque and interesting to writers who devote them- selves to studyirg and depicting human nature. Moreover, in its purely political aspects It is wonderfully attractive. No one has es yet treated these with con- spicuous success in a novel.” _ Ja16-th,3m-2 AsyerB Bros.
